Got Crypto?

If you bought, sold, traded, or used crypto in 2025, it’s tax time talk.

Crypto IS taxable when you:
• Sell for cash
• Trade one coin for another
• Use crypto to buy goods/services
• Receive crypto for work
• Earn rewards, staking, or mining income

NOT taxable just for:
• Buying & holding
• Transferring between your own wallets

⚠️ Exchanges report activity. The IRS asks about digital assets on your return — skipping it is not the move.

Good records = less stress
Missing records = tax headache

If you touched crypto, mention it at your appointment ✔️

📌 IRS Phasing Out Paper Checks — What You Should Know

The IRS is transitioning away from issuing paper checks for refunds and other payments and moving toward electronic methods, primarily direct deposit.

Why this change is happening
• Security: Paper checks can be lost, stolen, or intercepted in the mail. Electronic payments reduce these risks.
• Speed: Direct deposit typically delivers funds faster than waiting for a mailed check.
• Efficiency: Electronic payments streamline IRS operations and align with modern banking practices.

What it means for you
• If you currently receive IRS payments by paper check, this option will be phased out.
• You’ll need to provide or update your bank account information when filing your tax return.

I love when the IRS calls from a random number to offer me a limited-time Fresh Start deal like it’s Black Friday.

Nothing says ‘official government agency’ like ‘press 1 now before the recession gets worse.’

This is 1000% a robocall script, don’t fall for it.
